Tragedy Set in Peru and Featuring Inca Rulers and Conquistadores 1. AGUIAR, Manoel Caetano Pimenta de. Conquista do Peru. Tragedia. Lisbon: Na Impressão Regia, 1818. 8°, unbound. Woodcut Portuguese- Brazilian royal arms on title page. Uncut and unopened. In very fine condition. 125 pp., (1 blank l.). $450.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this verse tragedy set during the Spanish conquest of Peru. Among the characters are Atahualpa (here spelled Atabalipa), the Incan ruler of Peru, his wife Palima and daughter Semira, and the Spanish conquistadores Francisco Pizarro and Diogo Almagro. The action takes place in Peru at Cajamarca (here spelled Caxamalca ), culminating in the execution of Atahualpa, which occurred in 1533. Manoel Caetano Pimenta Aguiar (1765-1832), a native of Madeira, served as a captain of cavalry in the French revolutionary army in 1790, being awarded the Legion of Honor. He was elected a deputy to the Côrtes in 1823, and won re-election, but left the political arena in 1828, being persecuted by the Miguelistas. Aguiar published at least nine other historical dramas between 1815 and 1820. Ferdinand Denis appreciated Aguiar’s attempt to start a national drama and particularly liked Conquista do Peru (Resumé de l’histoire litteraire du Portugal, quoted at length in Innocêncio). j Innocêncio V, 382; XVI, 146.

position he held from 1841 to 1851. The biography recounts his efforts during Chile’s War of Independence (pp. 9-14), his campaign against the Araucanian Indians in 1820-1823 (pp. 15-21), his victory in 1832 over the Pincheira brothers, who had allied themselves with Indians (pp. 22-33), his defeat of Santa Cruz and the Peru-Bolivian Confederation in 1838-1839 (pp. 34-61), and his first years as president of Chile (pp. 62-84). President Bulnes encouraged educational, cultural, and industrial expansion. The University of Chile was founded in Santiago in 1842 and the settlement of Fuerte Bulnes was established in 1843, to enforce Chilean sovereignty over the Strait of Magellan (see pp. 70-71). The author of this work was particularly impressed by Bulnes’s handling of Chilean finances (pp. 75-79).

Charming woodcut tailpieces. Minor soiling on title-page; minor foxing; faint dampstains at edges of some leaves. In fine condition. (16 ll.), 99 pp., folding map. $9,000.00 FIRST EDITION of this important early description of the province of Guayas, on the coast of Ecuador, whose capital city, Santiago de Guayaquil, was established in 1537 by Francisco de Orellana. The Compendio—the earliest topographical and historical study of this area—gives accounts of the region’s products, commerce, flora and fauna, architecture, and shipbuilding. In the introduction the author discusses the importance of Guayaquil as one of the major ports of the Spanish colonies in America, mentioning the attacks of English pirates such as Drake and Morgan and the measures that had been taken to defend the ports. A later chapter (pp. 82-90) is devoted to accounts of the English and Dutch pirates who had attacked the city. Chapters 10 and 11 refer to the Mangache and Colorado Indians. The folding map, signed by Paul Minguet, shows the old and new sections of the city of Guayaquil, locating some 70 points of interest. Alcedo y Herrera (1690-1777) traveled to America in 1706 with the Viceroy of Peru; he later served as Presidente y Capitán General of Quito and as Governador General 6 richard c. ramer

Mañana es el dia de Chile: es tambien el vuestro…. [Santiago de Chile]: [Imprenta de la Opinion], dated Lima, 17 September 1839. Folio (29 x 18.5 cm.), disbound. Caption title below woodcut ornament showing a helmet, shield, and other martial equipment. In good to very good condition. Early manuscript foliation in ink. Broadside. $400.00 First Chilean edition? Bulnes, the commander-in-chief of the Chilean army in Peru, encourages his soldiers to celebrate the twenty-ninth anniversary of Chile’s independence and announces that ships are waiting to bear the triumphant army home. The Chileans decisively defeated the Peru-Bolivian Confederation at the Battle of Yungay on January 20, 1839, but it was not until August 25 that General Gamarra assumed the presidency of Peru, decreed that the Peru-Bolivian Confederation was dissolved, and reunited North and South Peru. The proclamation was issued on September 17, 1839, at Lima, but was presumably printed in Santiago for the benefit of other Chileans.

Title page backed (not affecting text), title page and p. 352 somewhat soiled. In good condition. Owner’s signature, dated 1821, on recto of front free endleaf. (3 ll.), 352 pp. $200.00 The Kleine Kinderbibliothek runs to 12 volumes (of which this is the fourth), but each can also be considered a separate work, and each was apparently reprinted as necessary. This volume focuses on two accounts. The first is the description by Isabel Godin des Odonais (1728-1792) of her twenty-year journey to join her husband, which took her from her native Riobamba (Viceroyalty of Peru, now Ecuador) to the mouth of the Amazon River. The second account (pp. 33-352) is Jonathan Carver’s Travels Through the Interior Parts of North America, in the Years 1766, 1767, and 1768. The Travels, which includes extensive information on Native Americans in the Midwest, was an important source book and stimulus for later explorers, especially Mackenzie and Lewis and Clark. Joachim Heinrich Campe (1746-1818), a native of Lower Saxony, was a major figure in the German Enlightenment and is notable for his attempts at educational reform. He 10 richard c. ramer

After a brief stint as teacher at Johann Bernhard Basedow’s Philanthropinum in Dessau, he established in Hamburg his own teaching institute, which based learning on a family model. Published works include Robinson der Jüngere, 1779-80, and the trilogy Die Entdeckung von Amerika. In 1786 he moved to Braunschweig, where he proposed to reform the school system. He died there in 1818, at age 72. j NUC: Hamburg and Reutlingen, 1786-96 at DLC, NN; Wolfenbuttel, 1786-? at NN; Reutlingen, 1787-1800 at ViU; and later editions.

a blank portion has the repeated notes “Nil deficit” and “Nil deest” [“Nothing is missing”]. (16), 252 ll. ¶⁸, 2¶⁸ A-2G⁸, 2H-2I⁶. $3,500.00 FIRST EDITION of this comprehensive study of the great military orders under the patronage of the Spanish Crown, through the reign of Philip II. This actually constitutes a history of the military conquest of the New World. Medina considered the section on Chile (ff. 170v-180r) so important that he reprinted it in its entirety. Another lengthy section deals with the conquest of Peru (ff. 109r-145v). Sir Francis Drake’s actions in Latin America are described on ff. 160v-161r, 170v and 177r. Caro de Torres was the son of a conquistador and had firsthand knowledge of military matters in America: after fighting in Italy and Belgium, he traveled to America with the newly appointed Viceroy of Peru, the Conde de Villar. Later he was among the troops sent to Chile to assist D. Alonso de Sotomayor. When D. Alonso was replaced as Viceroy, Caro de Torres accompanied him as far as Panama, where they fought against and defeated the English fleet. His account of Sotomayor’s actions at Nombre de Dios, where Drake died, is on f. 178r. (Caro de Torres published a lengthier description of Sotomayor’s services to the Crown in Madrid, 1620.) In later life, Caro de Torres became a member of the Order of Santiago. j Palau 44869. Medina, Bibliotheca hispano-chilena 70. Alden & Landis 629/31. Vindel 424. Sabin 10951. Antonio I, 412-3.

In 1570, he and several other Jesuits landed at Cartagena de Indias and traveled to Panama, where he set sail for Lima, and was soon sent across the Andes to the interior of Peru. He spent years traveling the interior, and later spent several years in Mexico.

Valparaiso; the passage from Valparaiso to Callao; Lima; the Callao to Honolulu passage; Honolulu; Honolulu to Monterey; and California (San Francisco, Capt. John C. Fremont, gold miners). The lithograph illustrations show Rio de Janeiro, Valparaiso, Lima, and San Francisco (in 1846). Colton (1797-1851) was born in Vermont and attended Yale and Andover Theologi- cal Seminary. He was ordained a minister in 1825. In 1831, in an attempt to improve his health, he accepted a commission as a chaplain aboard the U.S.S. Constellation. His first two travel books—Ship and Shore and a companion work, A Visit to Constantinople and Athens (1836)—were based on Colton’s extended voyage to the Mediterranean in 1832- 1835. He later sailed the Pacific aboard the U.S.S. Congress. In 1846, he was appointed chief judge at Monterey, California. A letter of Colton’s published in 1848 in the North American and United States Gazette (Philadelphia) was the first public announcement of the discovery of gold in California. Colton’s best-known work, Three Years in California (1850), describes California immediately before and after the 1848 gold rush. j Borba de Moraes (1983) I, 193-4.

Be True to Your Sovereign! 17. DAVALOS, José Manuel. Arenga. Que en el besamanos del 30 de mayo de 1815 tenido en celebridad de los felices años de S.M. pronunció en nombre del Colegio de San Fernando el D.D.

(2 ll.) $600.00 FIRST EDITION of this speech given on the King’s birthday in 1815, at the Real Colegio de San Fernando in Lima. Davalos, who taught there and at the Real Universidad de San Marcos, condemns the “monstruos de crueldad y tiranía” and “viles intrigantes” who have been wreaking havoc in Peru, and promises that students will be instructed to love and respect their sovereign: “El pueblo es de ordinario una masa inerte y ciega que necesita el primer impulso para obrar, per cuyo movimiento es casi siempre precipitado y violento; debemos pues todos por un principio de amor al soberano y por nuestro ver- dadero bien, contribuir en quanto sea posible a dar a esta máquina inmensa la direccion mas conveniente á su propia utilidad.” The speech was given while Peru was in the midst of its war for independence, which lasted from 1809 to 1821. By May 1815 Ferdinand VII had been restored to the throne after Napoleon’s defeat, the rebellion in Cuzco under General Mateo Pumacahua had been defeated, and even the rebels in neighboring Chile had been temporarily subdued: the royalists seemed very near a final victory. j Medina, Lima 3167.

Not Guilty of Conspiring to Assassinate Bolívar 19. ESTOMBA, Ramón Bernabé. Breve esposicion que presenta al juicio publico el coronel Estombar. [text begins:] No puede haber un deber mas desagradable para un hombre que estima su buena opinion y respeta la de sus semejantes, que tener que justificar su conducta ante el gran tribunal de la censura pública….

In good condition. Early manuscript foliation in ink. Illegible blindstamp on final leaf. (2 ll.) $500.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION. Ramón Bernabé Estomba (1790-1829), a native of Montevideo, served in the campaign of Alto Perú under Generals Juan Ramón Balcarce and Manuel Belgrano. Wounded in battle and then imprisoned for 7 years, he joined the Ejército Libertador in 1820. Simón Bolívar named him prefect of the Ayacucho department five years later, in recognition of his service. Soon afterwards, Estomba was mistakenly arrested as part of a conspiracy to overthrow Bolívar. This document reports his imprisonment and subsequent expulsion from Peru, which he considered very unjust. He includes a transcription of a document that lists many of the conspirators, as well as many others who, like Estomba, were accused but later exonerated. Estomba returned to Buenos Aires, where he was given command of the Seventh Cavalry Regiment and in 1828 founded the Fortaleza Protectora Argentina, today the site of Bahia Blanca. Soon afterwards he went insane and was committed to a mental hospital; he died in 1829. j Briseño I, 41. OCLC: 55278253 (Biblioteca Nacional de Chile). Not located in CCPBE. Not located in Rebiun.

How Do You Get to Tarija? 20. FERNANDEZ CORNEJO, Juan Adrian. Descubrimiento de un nuevo camino, desde el Valle de Centa hasta la Villa de Tarija …. Buenos Aires: Imprenta del Estado, 1836. Folio (30.5 x 20.2 cm.), disbound. In good to very good condition. ii, 11 pp.; the 2 preliminary pages (with a blank leaf before and after) are separated from the rest. $75.00 FIRST EDITION, with an introduction by Pedro de Angelis. It was published in his important Colección de obras y documentos relativos a la historia antigua y moderna de las provincias del Río de la Plata, first printed in 1836-37.

Tarija is a town in southern Bolivia near the Argentine border. The valley of Centa seems to be in the north of modern Argentina.

Seville: Casa de Hernando Diaz en la calle de la Sierpe, 1571. Folio (29 x 20 cm.), recent period burgundy morocco, elaborately blind-tooled panels with gilt ornaments in center and at corners, spine with raised bands in five compartments with gilt ornaments, all edges gilt; in a folding cloth case with marbled sides. Large woodcut arms of Spain on each title-page. Small light waterstains in the gutter of the last few leaves. In fine condition.

The inside front cover of the cloth case has a printed paper tag (10 x 5 cm.) of New-York Historical Society, with details about the book typed in. The book contains no ex-library markings. (4), 142 ll. [i.e., 138: pagination skips from 130 to 135]; 130 ll. 2 volumes in 1. $35,000.00 FIRST EDITION of this important early source for the history of Peru, and indeed for the early history of all of Latin America. It is rare because the Council of the Indies interrupted its publication in March 1572, decreeing that all known copies be destroyed on the grounds that the book “related facts contrary to the truth, and others which were different from the truth, and that he had omitted to mention facts which he should have mentioned which would result in a grave danger to the authorities in the Indies.” A permit to print was issued in 1729, but the work was again suppressed before printing was completed. The Historia details the conspiracies, rebellions and murders of the years 1542 to ca. 1560. The second part was written in his old age by Fernandez de Palencia, a Span- ish soldier who arrived in Peru in 1553. The first part is copied by him from Pedro de la Gasca’s apparently unpublished account, which begins with the enactment of Charles V’s “New Laws” in 1542. The Laws caused a furor among the conquistadores; Gonzalo Pizarro rebelled, and in 1546 captured and killed the Viceroy of Peru, Blasco Nuñez de special list 297 23

Vela. Fernandez de Palencia’s account picks up with the appointment of Gasca as first president of the Audiencia of Peru. Sent out to restore order after the New Laws were revoked:,he routed Pizarro’s followers and killed Pizarro. Fernandez continues with an account of the D. Andres Hurtado de Mendoza, Marques de Cañete, who served as viceroy for six years beginning in 1555. The work concludes with a history of eleven Inca rulers, religious customs and marriage practices of the Incas, and the Inca calendar (part 2, ff. 125-130). The author was named official chronicler of Peru by the Marques de Cañete, and aside from personal correspondence with royalist leaders, had access to other letters, diaries, and official documents. “No history of that period compares with it in the copi- ousness of its details” (Prescott, Conquest of Peru [1865] II, 474). j Palau 89549.

The Bat Attacks 23. [FUENTES, Manuel Atanasio]. Villarancidio (con perdon del plagio) ó asesinato de un poema en once cantos mortales, que, con el titulo de Victoria de la Palma…. Lima: Typografia Nacional de N.N. Corpancho, por J.H. del Campo, 1858. 4°, original peach printed wrappers (some wear). Steel-engraved vignette of a bat on title page [symbol representing the anonymous author]. In very good condition. (1 l.), 61. (3) pp. $900.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION [?] of this rare pamphlet in verse with commentary in prose. This satirical work reproduces a poem praising President Ramón Castilla’s 1855 triumph at the Battle of La Palma in Arequipa. The poem, written by the magistrate Manuel V. Villarán (1812-1860), was originally published in Lima, 1856. This edition has extensive prose commentary by Fuentes below the poem in which he condemns Villarán’s admiration for Castilla. Fuentes conveys an incisive political critique via wordplay that mocks formal juridical language. Ramón Castilla became president of Peru during a bloody civil war, serving as president from February 17 to December 11 1844 and again from 1845 to 1851. Fuentes spent some of that period in exile, publishing a hostile biography of Castilla from a safe distance (Valparaiso, 1856). In 1858, a convention enacted a new constitution that greatly weakened the president’s power. Shortly after this pamphlet appeared, Fuentes switched sides and became a supporter of Castilla: a change in sympathy that may account in part for the rarity of the present work. In 1860, Castilla arranged to have a new convention approve yet another constitution that restored presidential dominance; it remained in force until 1920. Manuel Atanasio Fuentes (1820-1889), born in Lima, studied at the University of San Marcos in his native city and graduated with a degree in law in 1841. Soon, however, he began to concentrate on journalism. He contributed to the Heraldo of Lima and then successively established El Monitor de la Moda, La Crónica, and Semanario de los Niños. His most successful newspaper was El Murciélago, founded in 1855. The name was taken from a pseudonym under which Fuentes had been writing—thus the bat vignette on the title page of the present work. By its trenchant wit and its fearlessness, this newspaper soon became known throughout Peru. Since Fuentes never temporized, the journal was often suppressed and its editor exiled. Of his numerous works on law, statistics, public health and literature, among the most noteworthy are Estadistica de Lima; Elementos de Higiene Privada; Higiene de la Infancia; Medicina Legal; Tratado de Higiene Publica y Aplicada; Manual de Autópsias y Exhumaciones Formulario de Jueces de Paz; Derecho Constitucional Universal; Reglas parlamentarias; Guía del Viajero en Lima; and Aletazos del Murciélago. j Palau 95425 (without citing any copy, and giving place and date of publication as Lima, 1856 [almost surely in error; in 1856 Fuentes was in exile, and publishing outside Peru]).

Peruvian Businessman in Trouble with British Navy Appeals to Scottish Commercial Firm 24. GARCIA, Juan José.

In very good condition. 60 pp. $400.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION. Garcia promised to use money entrusted to him by several of his fellow Peruvian businessmen to purchase goods during a trip to Great Britain in 1820. On his return voyage, the goods (never detailed here: a peculiar omis- sion) made it past Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo, and Valparaiso, but were stopped at San Lorenzo: “el comodoro ingles, despues de una conferencia que tubo con el que repre- sentaba al sobrecargo del bergantin especidionario, que se habia dirijido al navio del citado comodoro, remitió un oficial con orden espresa para que fondease dicho buque al costado de la isla!” Garcia traveled back to Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro in an attempt to gain satisfaction, but failed. One of the Peruvian businessmen claimed that Garcia owed him the money. In 1823, after a journey in which he was shipwrecked in the English Channel, Garcia visited Scotland to present his case to Buchannan Brown and Company, which had been involved in the transaction. As of 1830, the situation remained unresolved. Pages 37-60 contain transcriptions of 19 documents supporting Garcia’s claims. j Not in Palau. Not in Kress Catalogue. Not located in OCLC.

He argues that the Spanish colonies in America do not desire freedom from Spain and will be happy to remain linked to Spain if the right measures are written into the Constitution. He suggests that the Indies have their own Cortes and a separate Consejo, and that there be radical changes in the Audiencias.

A few early inked corrections in text. 14 pp., (1 blank l.). $600.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this sermon preached in celebration of Jorge de Benavente y Macoaga’s being consecrated the eighteenth archbishop of Lima in 1835. Due to the wars of independence and the civil war that followed, the office had remained vacant for fourteen years. Herrera describes the political events in Peru and Rome that led to this situation, and the happiness of clergy and parishioners now that a new archbishop has been named. Benavente y Macoaga, (b. 1784), a native of Ayata, La Paz, remained archbishop until his death in 1839. Bartolomé Herrera (1808-1864), a native of Lima, died in Arequipa, where he had served as bishop since 1861. A noted orator, he was extremely active in the ecclesiastical and political realms: member of several assemblies beginning in 1849, part of Echenique’s government in 1851, and plenipotentiary for Peru to the Vatican. Ricardo Mariátegui Oliva notes, “A él, a este gran peruano, se le debe como celoso guardián de la integridad territorial la defensa de la soberanía nacional frente a las pretensiones de EE.UU. sobre las Islas de Lobos; la implantación en Lima en 1853 de esa gran obra caritativa que se llama Conferencia de San Vicente de Paul; el establecimiento de las Religiosas del Sagrado Corazón, que … fundaron el primer colegio de niñas … y también el establecimiento de 32 richard c. ramer

Desperately Seeking a Cure in Quito, Lima and Costa Rica 32. HURTADO DE MENDOZA Y ZAPATA, Gregorio. Cartas escriptas a Su Magestad … a favor de la conducta, desinteres, zelo al real servicio, y enfermedades …. [Quito?]: , 1768. Folio (29 x 19 cm.), recent full crimson morocco, smooth spine, marbled endleaves. Three large woodcuts on title-page; large woodcut floriated and factotum initials. Scattered light spotting, old inked foliation. Crisp. In fine condition. (1 l.), 21 pp. $3,000.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION. Medina believed that this work was printed in Madrid, where Hurtado de Mendoza was living in 1768. It consists of numerous testimonials from officials in Lima and Quito that Hurtado, a judge who found himself “molestado de graves, y prolixos accidentes,” abandoned his official duties in Quito only in order to visit “medicos naturales, y estrangeros” in Lima, and hence regain his health so that he might better serve his king. His purse being exhausted and his health no better, the judge asks the king for financial assistance. The most interesting letter (pp. 15-8) is from two missionaries who describe Hur- tado’s arrival at the “Reducción de los Indios Infieles de Terraba, y Talamancas” in Costa special list 297 33

Title-Page Woodcut with Castle, Madonna and Child, and Arms of Portugal and Brazil 38. MACEDO, Ignacio José de. Oração gratulatoria recitada na Santa Sé Cathedral do Porto, em 27 de Novembro de 1825 … em acção de graças por occasião da Carta de Lei, em que S.M.F. se dignou assumir o titulo de Imperador …. Porto: Imprensa do Gandra, 1825. 4°, contemporary rear marbled wrapper (faded, front wrapper gone). Elaborate woodcut on title page: see below. Second leaf (dedication to D. João VI) is set in elaborate gothic type. Typographical mustaches on p. 5. Small marginal brownstain. In good to very good condition. 16 pp. $600.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this oration celebrating D. João VI’s acceptance of the title of Emperor of Brazil. D. João VI ruled as prince regent for D. Maria I, 1799- 1816, as king of Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarve 1816-1822, and king of Portugal and de jure emperor of Brazil, 1822-25. Macedo contrasts the bloody rebellions in Latin America,”desde o Isthmo de Panamá, até ao Cabo de Horne,” with events in Brazil, where D. João’s prudence and moderation have tempered events: “A prudente expectativa, e moderação de El-Rei com o Brazil acalma insensivelmente o brutal, e desmoralisado furor, que grassava nas Provincias do Norte.” “A ephémera Republica do Equador” is mentioned on pp. 12-16. The elaborate woodcut on the title page shows a castle with two tall towers, between which are the Madonna and Child. At their feet, above an arch, are the words “Civitas Virginis.” On the left-hand tower are the imperial arms of Brazil; a mailed arm rises above them, waving a flag with the Brazilian arms. On the right-hand tower are the royal arms of Portugal; a mailed arm rises above them, brandishing a sword twined with laurels. Ignacio José de Macedo (1774-1834), a native of Porto, moved to Brazil at age eight and lived there for the next 40 years. For many years he was a magistrate in Bahia (examinador synodal and censor regio). He also published a periodical, A Idade de Ouro. According to the title page, he was pregador da Imperial Capella do Carmo in Rio de Janeiro and professor de Filosofia Racional e Moral in Bahia. In 1823, after Bahia proclaimed its independence, Macedo returned to Portugal. There he became well known as the editor of O Velho 38 richard c. ramer

Liberal do Douro, which supported the new Constitution and liberal principles. In 1829 he was imprisoned. From the Duque de Bragança’s return until Macedo’s death, he again published O Velho Liberal. He published several funeral orations, including two for D. João VI, and several more general works such as Influencia da religião sobre a politica do Estado, Lisbon, 1826, and Considerações sobre as causas da elevação e decadencia da Monarchia Portugueza, Lisbon, 1834. j Innocêncio X, 53; on the author, see also III, 209-10.

Orphaned when young and trained to be a shepherd, he met a Dominican friar who impressed him so much that he decided to become one himself. In 1610 he set out for the Americas, finally settling in Peru, where in 1623 he entered the Dominican priory of St. Mary Magdalene in Lima as a lay brother. He served as assistant doorkeeper there until his death in 1646. He was known for his love of the rosary and his generosity to the poor. Pope Gregory XVI beatified him in 1837 (along with his friend Martin de Porres, a native of Lima), and Pope Paul VI canonized him in 1975. In this biography, published the year he was beatified, the future saint is in Lima by p. 16. We have been unable to locate any earlier biographies of St. John Macias. j Not located in NUC.

Author’s two-line ink presentation inscription to Ricardo Spruce, “Recuerdo de su atento amigo” at foot of title (signature cropped, but handwriting is same as the signed inscription in the second work). (1 l.), 223 pp. 2 works in 1 volume. $750.00 FIRST EDITION of Mera’s earliest published book, according to Palau. A second edition appeared at Barcelona, 1892. Mera (1832-1894), a native of Ambato, Ecuador, was a novelist and poet as well as a literary critic. He wrote Cumandá, 1879 (Ecuador’s first jungle novel), several works based on Indian folklore, a historical survey of Ecuadorian poetry that drew the attention of European scholars to the literature of Ecuador, and the Ecuadorian national anthem. Provenance: Richard Spruce (Ganthorpe, Yorkshire, 1817-Coneysthorpe, Yorkshire, 1893), was one of the most noted Victorian botanical explorers; in his eighteen years of travel in South America, he was the first European to visit many of the sites from which he collected specimens. Dispatched to South America in 1849 by Hooker, Bentham, and other botanists, Spruce traveled up the Amazon to Santarém, explored the Rio Trombetas, and reached Manáos, at the mouth of the Rio Negro. He spent three years on the Negro and Orinoco, discovering many plants new to science in Venezuela. By early 1855 he had ascended the Amazon to Nantua in Peru, then proceeded to Tarapoto in the eastern foot- hills of the Andes. Two years later, he traveled up the Pastasa to Ecuador, reaching Banos and then Ambato, which he made his headquarters for two years while he explored the Andes. Spruce returned to England in 1867, where Hooker, Bentham, Mitten, and other 42 richard c. ramer

Small wood-engraved papal tiara on title page. In very good to fine condition. xxiv, 238 pp., (1 blank l.) $175.00 First and only edition in Portuguese of this work arguing for the pope’s authority over all ecclesiastical affairs, particularly the appointment of bishops, who receive their power from Christ via the pope. The question came up during wars, when secular rulers appointed bishops because communication with the pope was impossible. Moreno also discusses more broadly the relation between Church and State. Among the authorities cited are Isidore of Seville, Fenelon, Bossuet, Francisco Ramos de Manzano. Moreno ends with a chapter on “Conselho de Villanova ás Americas, applaudido pelo Desenganador, absurdo, schismatico, attentatorio dos direitos e attribuições do Primado” (p. 238). In the translator’s preface, Almeida Garrett comments on the highly persuasive effect Moreno’s essay has had in Latin America, and expresses the hope that it will have the same effect in Rio de Janeiro, where in 1835 the government had refused to withdraw the nomination of an unworthy bishop. Although the text ends with “Fim da primeira secção do Ensaio,” the second part was not published in Spanish until 1836, and the two were not published together in Spanish until the three-volume edition of Buenos Aires, 1846. The second part was apparently never translated to Portuguese. José Ignacio Moreno (1767-1841) was archdeacon at the Cathedral of Lima. Alexandre José da Silva de Almeida Garrett (b. Porto, d. 1867), who translated the work and added a 15-page introduction, was the brother of the famous author and states- man João Baptista da Silva Leitão Almeida Garrett, 1.º Visconde de Almeida Garrett. j Innocêncio I, 37: without collation; on the author, see also VIII, 38, 417; XX, 32.

Like Ramón Estomba (whom he mentions in a footnote), Necochea was mistakenly accused of taking part in a conspiracy to overthrow Bolívar. In October, after 56 days in prison, he was released without having been allowed to defend himself, and was told to leave Peru. “Por lo demas si la Patria nada tiene que agradecerme, yo jamas faltaré á la gratitud debida á cualesquiera servicios particulares que el Libertador me haya hecho.” Mariano Necochea (1792-1849), a native of Buenos Aires who fought in the wars of independence of Argentina, Chile, and Peru, fought at the Battle of Chacabuco (1817) and under Simón Bolívar at the Battle of Junin (1824). The false accusation he rebut here occurred shortly after he was named director of the Casa de Moneda in Peru. After serving in Montevideo and Chile, he returned to Peru for the final decade of his life. j Briseño I, 173. OCLC: 55271028 (Biblioteca Nacional de Chile). Not located in CCPBE.

Nuix deals first with the question of whether the Indian population is declining, covering such issues as the reliability of Bartolomé de las Casas’ works, the Indians’ lack of skill at agriculture, the effects of disease, and “Los extrangeros que impidieron 48 richard c. ramer

la comunicacion de la Metrópoli con las Colonias.” He is particularly vehement about the detrimental effects of mining on the population and the economy (pp. 44-76, with mentions of Peru and Mexico). Next there is a section on how the Spanish acquired land from the Indians and whether their conquests were morally acceptable. Pages 202-14 deal with the Inquisition. Nuix compares the behavior of the Spanish with that of other European conquerors, insisting that any atrocities in the Spanish colonies were committed by individuals who were later reprimanded by the Spanish government. He concludes by arguing that any harm done to the Indians was more than compensated for by the introduction of Christianity among them. This first translation from Italian to Spanish was the work of Pedro Varela y Ulloa, a member of the Royal Council. It includes a preface by the translator in which he argues that the Spanish form of colonialism was unique: that the crimes being attributed to Spain were in fact the work of private individuals, and were minor compared to those of other European nations. This dovetails nicely with Nuix’s contention in the main text. Nuix y Perpiña (Tora, Old Castile, 1740-Italy, 1783) became a Jesuit in 1754. By 1767 he was teaching rhetoric at Vich. One of the arguments Nuix uses to bolster his credibility in discussing the Spaniards is that he was a Catalan, and the Catalans did not participate in the colonization of the Indies. After the Jesuits were expelled from Spain, Nuix spent the rest of his life in Italy. A second translation of this work, with additions, was made by the author’s brother, Joséf de Nuix y Perpiñá, and published in Cervera in 1783. j Palau 196692: noting existence of some large-paper copies.

O’Higgins summarizes the triumph of Chile over Peru and argues that despite the high cost of waging war, Peru must be liberated from Spanish rule before Chile can be truly secure: “Lima no puede substraerse por mas tiempo á la ley general que obedece la America, y es preciso que sus principios se uniformen con los que han proclamado Chile, y las Provincias Unidas.” He describes San Martin’s exploits in the south and the activities of the Chilean navy. O’Higgins also expresses high hopes for the upcoming congress in Santiago. For the sake of accurate representation at the congress, he will be issuing orders for a nationwide census. The co-signer, Antonio José de Irisarri (1786-1886), one of the fathers of Chilean journalism, served as interim supreme director of Chile for a few days in 1814. When this manifesto was issued, he was minister of Government and Foreign Affairs under O’Higgins. j Briseño I, 191.

5,000 Peruvian Soldiers Exiled to Colombia, Per the Treaty of Guayaquil 54. [PERU]. Contestacion dada por un antíguo oficial del Perú á un artículo inserto en el Mercurio Peruano núm. 650. [text begins:] Cuando la depravacion y mala fé de los malvados, que han calculado sus ventajas sobre la ruina del Perú, llega al extremo de forjar documentos …. [Santiago de Chile]: Imprenta Republicana, dated 28 December 1829. Folio (28.5 x 18.5 cm.), disbound. Caption title. One small stain. In good to very good condition. Early manuscript foliation in ink. (1 l.) $900.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION. In 1828, Colombian forces under General Sucre defeated a much larger Peruvian force that was attempting to annex Ecuador. Under the terms of the Treaty of Guayaquil, signed September 22, 1829, the border was established between Gran Colombia and Peru, Peru agreed to indemnify Colombia for all the expenses of war, and Peru further agreed to replace—man for man—Colombian soldiers who had died, deserted, or become licenciados in the campaigns in Peru. Five thousand Peruvian soldiers were shipped off to Colombia. The anonymous author finds this third provision impossible to accept. He claims that the treaty was not properly ratified and that Bolívar is attempting to enforce this provision merely to make Peru so weak that it can be occupied by Bolivar. j Briseño I, 77.

How Many Peruvian Ambassadors Does Chile Have to Tolerate? 55. [PERU]. Dos Legaciones del Peru. [text begins:] Aunque el esclarecimiento de la cuestion que se ha suscitado en los periódicos sobre la admision de dos ministros públicos del Perú, no puede ya producir resultado alguno satisfactorio …. N.p.: n.pr., 1836?. Folio (29 x 19 cm.), disbound (nearly separated at fold). Caption title. Some small nicks at edges, without loss; minor marginal repair on second leaf, not affecting text. In good condition. Early manuscript foliation in ink. (2 ll.) $400.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION. This debate over permitting two Peruvian ministers to Chile hinges on whether allowing two ministers implies acceptance of the legitimacy of both governments, or whether such recognition merely establishes a means of communication with those governments. The anonymous author, responding to articles in El Araucano and El Mercurio, discusses diplomacy, maritime law, and the rights of nations, with mention of blockades, General Luis Orbegoso, the United States before it won its battle with Great Britain, D. Miguel in Portugal, and Grotius. Given the frequent mentions of Santa Cruz and Bolivia, this pamphlet was certainly published during Orbegoso’s term as president of North Peru (February 7-August 11, 1836). The mention of a letter from Bolivia dated July 8 narrows the time down to late July or early August 1836. The author of Dos legaciones questions the legitimacy of the 1833 election that brought Orbegoso to the presidency, as well as Obregoso’s authority in Peru after he allied himself with President Andrés de Santa Cruz and formed the Peru-Bolivian Confederacy, of which Santa Cruz was Supreme Protector and Orbegoso merely the president of the Republic of North Peru. Many Peruvian politicians who opposed the idea of the confederation fled to Chile, where they were supported by Diego Portales. j Not located in Briseño. Not located in OCLC. Not located in CCPBE.

Eduard Friedrich Poeppig (1798-1868), German botanist, zoologist and explorer, was sent by the University of Leipzig to gather botanical specimens in North and South America. He spent considerable time in Cuba (1823-24), Pennsylvania (1824-26), and Chile, Peru, and Brazil (1826-1832).

Although Poeppig lost some of his scientific data on the trip down the Amazon, he described over 4,000 plant species. Borba comments that “The account of his expedition and the botanical surveys he published are comparable to the work of Humboldt.” The plant genus Poeppigia is named after him, as are the Silvery Wooly Monkey (Lagothrix poeppigii) and the orchid Campylocentrum poeppigii (Rchb. f.)

Broadside. $800.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION. In early June 1837, with public opinion running high against President José Joaquin Prieto and the War of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation, Chilean troops under Colonel José Antonio Vidaurre mutinied at Quillota. They imprisoned Diego Portales, who was there to organize a military expedition against Peru (referred to here as “ministro encargado de preparar y acelerar la espedicion al Perú”). Portales, who was in large part responsible for the conservative Constitution of 1833, held few offices in the 1830s but wielded more power than anyone in the Chilean government. Prieto reminds his fellow citizens that since they entrusted the government to him seven years ago, “esta es la primera nube que oscurece el horizonte pacífico que os ha cercado.” Colonel Vidaurre set off to Valparaiso, where he was defeated by Admiral Blanco Encalada. When the news of the defeat reached Quillota on June 6, the mutinous troops executed Portales. Portales thereby became a martyr, and public feeling abruptly veered in favor of the war. j Briseño III, 321 (no. 2025). OCLC: 55250099 (Biblioteca Nacional de Chile). Not located in CCPBE.

Hero of Peruvian Independence Urges His Compatriots to Liberty 63. [REQUENA FONSECA, Cayetano]. Carta de un sacerdote en el Peru á su hermano en Jesu-Cristo, D. Cayetano Requena.

In good to very good condition. 32 pp. $1,600.00 FIRST EDITION thus. Cayetano Requena, from the Ancash region of Peru, is one of the heroes of that country’s independence movement. The first 8 pages of this work are a reply (signed “Y.A.U.”) dated 4 December 1819 to a letter Requena published on 24 November 1819. The letter brands Requena a rebel and an apostate, and berates him for daring to call himself a chaplain of the Chilean fleet and a canon of the church in Concepción. Pages 8-32 contain Requena’s spirited reply of 20 May 1820, in which he focuses on the need to liberate Peru from Spanish rule and discusses ecclesiastical offices in Chile. Requena mentions Valdivia (captured from the royalists in early February 1820), Chillán, and Chiloé, as well as Ferdinand VII, Lord Cochrane (commander of the Chilean navy), and the Constitution of Chile. By 1820 Chile had turned the tide against the royalists and, under José de San Martin, was invading Peru. j Briseño I, 48.

Attack on North Peru’s Minister Plenipotentiary, Who Had Defended Admiral Charles Whiting Wooster, a New Haven Native 64. RIVA AGUERO, José de la. D. José de la Riva de Agüero.

In good to very good condition. Early manuscript foliation in ink (trimmed). (1 l.) $400.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION. According to the anonymous author, Riva Agüero published a document claiming that Admiral Charles Whiting Wooster, who had recently decided to retire to the United States (he was a native of New Haven, Connecticut), had been treated very badly by the government of Chile. The author, who signs himself as “Un Chileno,” declares with rhetorical flourishes that Riva Agüero has no idea what he’s talking about. “Quien es el que determina el premio que merecia Wooster de nosotros por sus servicios?—¡D. José de la Riva Agüero que no sabe cuáles son esos servicios, lo que cuestan a la nacion ni lo que verdaderamente valian!” José de la Riva Agüero, who was at this time minister plenipotentiary to Chile for General Luis José de Orbegoso of North Peru, succeeded Orbegoso as president of North Peru on August 1, 1838.

Scathing Attack on North Peru’s Minister Plenipotentiary 65. [RIVA AGUERO, José de la, subject]. Mi Don Simplicio.

(1 l.) $400.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION. The object of this scathing attack is not identified in the text, but judging from a mention of Lima and the author’s wish to rid Chilean soil of the man, the object is probably José de la Riva Agüero, minister plenipotentiary for North Peru under General Luis Orbegoso and later Orbegoso’s successor as president of North Peru (August 1838 to January 1839). Riva Agüero was engaged in a pamphlet war that began with a letter of recommendation written for Admiral Charles Wooster. The author, who signs himself “Uno que no es chileno” (probably in response to an earlier anonymous author’s signature “Un chileno”), deals in heavy sarcasm: “Es preciso pues que se convenza V. de que puede uno amar el órden y ser honrado, y estar sinembargo en libertad de formar una opinion poco favorable de las facultades intelectuales de V.; y de que esta libertad pasa á ser una necesidad imprescindible y una lei de la naturaleza, si al amor al órden y á la honradez se reune un poco de sentido comun.” j Briseño I, 320.

Mercurio de Valparaiso. Most of the work concerns a recommendation that he had written for Admiral Charles Wooster before Riva Agüero had been appointed as Peru’s minister plenipotentiary to Chile. Wooster (a native of New Haven, Connecticut) had asked a number of acquaintances to write letters of recommendation that he could use when he returned home to the United States. Riva Agüero had also been accused of being friends with José Maria Novoa, but asserts that the friendship had developed years ago; Novoa’s current disgrace cannot be taken to reflect on everyone who was ever his friend. For a diplomat, Riva Agüero is remarkably forthright about his dislike for Chile. In August 1838, he succeeded Orbegoso as president of North Peru, remaining in office until Chile and South Peru defeated the Peru-Bolivian Confederation at the Battle of Yungay on January 20, 1839. j Briseño I, 292.

Light marginal staining on title-page of volume I. In very good to fine condition. Engraved portrait, 367 pp.; (1 l., 1 l. errata), pp. [369]-830. 2 volumes. $1,200.00 FIRST EDITION in this form; all the works had previously appeared elsewhere. Volume I has a fine portrait of the author drawn by Joaquin Ynza and engraved by Juan Antonio Salvador Carmona. Included in the Coleccion is a section on the 1780-1782 Tupac Amaru rebellion in Peru—the foremost of the eighteenth-century Indian revolutions (I, 225-41). San Alberto also deals with orphanages in Córdoba (I, 242-367) and war against pagan Indians (II, 524-33), and sets out an interesting “Relox espiritual para llevar a Dios presente en toda hora” (II, 774-813), illustrated with woodcut diagrams of clocks. Frei José Antonio de San Alberto (1727-1804), born in the Aragonese town of Fresno, professed in the Carmelite convent in Zaragoza in 1744 and was named prior of the Convent of St. Theresa in 1766. He later became procurador general of the Order in Madrid and acted as royal preacher and examinador sinodal for the Archbishop of Toledo. In 1778 he was appointed Bishop of Córdoba de Tucumán by King Charles III, and in 1786 became Bishop of La Plata. He was one of the outstanding prelates of the late colonial period in Latin America, known for his learning and for his charity to the poor. For his contributions to education, he has been compared to Domingo F. Sarmiento, father of the educational system in Argentina. René-Moreno comments, “The characteristics of the writings of San Alberto are: persuasive reasoning based upon a great deal of firsthand knowledge of the sacred scriptures and canons. They follow a simple and cohesive 66 richard c. ramer

Invokes the Ghost of Bolívar Against the Tyranny of Santa Cruz 68. [SANTA CRUZ, Andrés de]. ¡Muera el tirano Santa-Cruz! Trozos de un cuaderno impreso en el Ecuador y reimpreso en Buenos Aires en la Gaceta Mercantil. [text begins:] Tenemos la satisfaccion de copiar los siguientes trozos de un interesante impreso que se ha publicado en el Ecuador y que circula ya en América. Tratado con el Jeneral Santa Cruz…. Santiago de Chile: Imprenta de la Opinion, 1837. Folio (29 x 19 cm.), disbound. Woodcut ornament below caption title. Two columns. Light browning. In good to very good condition. Early manuscript foliation in ink. (2 ll.) $400.00 Reprint (with annotations?) of a work first published in Ecuador, and later in the Gazeta mercantil of Buenos Aires. It accuses Santa Cruz not only of taking over Peru (where Orbegoso was his lackey) but of wanting to add Chile, Argentina and Ecuador to his conquests. The author invokes the ghost of Simón Bolívar against such tyranny: “De la tumba de este héroe se levanta solemne, como de la eternidad, una voz que nos conjura á conservar ileso el patrimonio valioso que nos legó, y á esterminar sin compasion al que nos lo intenta robar.” A long footnote mentions Santa Cruz’s treacherous execution of President Felipe Santiago de Salaverry of Peru on February 7, 1836. This document bears the printed date 1837, and must date before June of that year, since Diego Portales is referred to in the final footnote of this work, with the sugges- tion that Santa Cruz may very well be planning to assassinate Portales as he had tried to assassinate General Juan Manuel de Rosas of Argentina. Portales was executed by mutinous soldiers at Quillota on June 6. j Briseño III, 275 (no. 1710). OCLC: 55263544 (Biblioteca Nacional de Chile). Not located in CCPBE. Not located in Rebiun.

Militia Cheers Those Embarking for Peru 82. [WAR OF THE PERU-BOLIVIAN CONFEDERATION]. La Milicia Civica de Valparaiso, al Ejercito Restaurador del Peru. ¡¡Campeones de la Libertad!! [text begins:] Los ultrages inferidos a nuestra patria, y la opresion con que un extrangero atrevido agovia a una República hermana y amiga, reclaman vuestro patriotismo y valor….

The local militia of Valparaiso encourages the participants of the expedition against the Peru-Bolivian Confederation, which set sail in September 1837. This flyer was clearly written after the Quillota mutiny of June, which resulted in the execution of Diego Portales: “Decidles tambien que entre vosotros están los que en época mas reciente y de fúnebre memoria, ahogaron al nacer el monstruo impio de la rebelion, incitado por ese mismo tirano que vais a destronar.” In a 180-degree shift of public opinion, Marshal Santa Cruz was blamed for the Quillota mutiny and the death of Portales, and Chileans were suddenly eager to invade Peru. j Not located in Briseño.

Rousing Rhetoric Against General Ramón Freire 83. [WAR OF THE PERU-BOLIVIAN CONFEDERATION]. Las clases del Batallon Num. 2. de Guardias Nacionales de Santiago a las de igual clase de Valparaiso. [text begins:] Compañeros de armas: Un gobierno extranjero protejiendo las aspiraciones de un faccioso que la patria condenò a perpetua ignominia …. [Santiago de Chile]: Imprenta Araucana, dated 7 August 1836. Folio (27.7 x 18.7 cm.), disbound. Woodcut of shield, helmet, and other military accouterments. Caption title. In good to very good condition. Early manuscript foliation in ink (trimmed). Broadside. $400.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this wonderfully rousing piece of rhetoric from soldiers in Santiago to their counterparts in Valparaiso. The writer claims that a foreign government is protecting a “faccioso que la patria condenò a perpetua ignominia,” and evokes memories of the war against Spain and the heroes of the Roman Republic to urge soldiers in Valparaiso to suppress the “fantásticas aspiraciones de un político aventurero.” The object of this vituperation is General Ramón Freire, Chile’s former supreme director (1823-1826) and president (1827), who had persuaded the Peru-Bolivian Confederation to subsidize his attempt to capture Chiloé, as a step toward overthrowing the conservative government of José Joaquin Prieto and Diego Portales. Following the failure of Freire’s expedition (he was imprisoned in Valparaiso, court-martialled and exiled), Portales sent an expedition that captured three ships of the Confederation’s fleet at Callao on August 21, 1836. Treaty negotiations having failed, Chile declared war on the Peru-Bolivian Confederation on December 28, 1836. j Briseño I, 63. Not located in OCLC. Not located in CCPBE. Not located in Rebiun.

More Rousing Rhetoric Against General Ramón Freire 84. [WAR OF THE PERU-BOLIVIAN CONFEDERATION]. Las clases del Batallon Num. 4 de Guardias Civicas de Santiago a sus compañeros de armas de Valparaiso. [text begins:] Amigos y camaradas. La audaz tentativa que puso en alarma nuestro celo, es ya ilustoria …. [Santiago de Chile]: Imprenta de la Opinion, dated 9 August 1836. Folio (27.5 x 18 cm.), disbound. Cap- tion title below woodcut ornament showing a helmet, shield, and other martial equipment. Minor creasing at one side. In good to very good condition. Early manuscript foliation in ink (trimmed). Broadside. $400.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION of another rousing piece of rhetoric from soldiers in Santiago to their counterparts in Valparaiso, this time announcing that “un acontecimiento importante y funesto para los invasores, ha desconcertado sus planes y desvanecido sus esperanzas.” In other words, Ramón Freire’s attempt to capture Chiloé had failed. Freire, Chile’s former supreme director (1823-1826) and president (1827), had persuaded the Peru-Bolivian Confederation to subsidize his attempt to capture Chiloé and eventually overthrow the conservative government of José Joaquin Prieto and Diego Portales. Following the failure of Freire’s expedition (he was imprisoned in Valparaiso, court-martialed and exiled), Portales sent an expedition that captured 3 ships of the Confederation’s fleet at Callao on August 21, 1836. Treaty negotiations having failed, Chile declared war on the Peru-Bolivian Confederation on December 28, 1836. j Briseño I, 63. Not located in OCLC. Not located in CCPBE. Not located in Rebiun.

Veterans Cheer Soldiers Embarking for Peru 85. [WAR OF THE PERU-BOLIVIAN CONFEDERATION]. Los Vet- eranos de Santiago al Ejercito Restaurador del Peru. [text begins:] Ilustres guerreros!—Llegó el momento de volar á ser por segunda vez los libertadores del desgraciado Perú…. [Santiago de Chile]: Imprenta de la Independencia, dated 2 September 1837. Folio (28 x 18.5 cm.), disbound. Above the caption title is a charming woodcut headpiece (5 x 15 cm.) of cavalrymen in battle. In good to very good condition. Early manuscript foliation in ink. (1 l.) $600.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION. The veterans of Chile wish speed and victory to the Chilean soldiers setting off on the expedition to free Peru from the vil conquistador Andrés Santa Cruz of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation. The Peruvians are described as standing plaintively on their shores with raised arms, waiting only for the appearance of Chilean ships to rebel. This is one of the few Chilean ephemeral pamphlets that expresses any sympathy for Peru, although it is perhaps less sympathy than Schadenfreude: “Llegó el momento de voltar á ser por segunda vez los libertadores del desgraciado Perú.” The leaf includes at the top a charming woodcut of cavalrymen charging into battle. The naval expedition against the Peru-Bolivian Confederation was headed by General Blanco Encalada, who had defeated the Quillota mutineers in June. In Peru his force of 2,800 special list 297 81

was not, in fact, greeted with relief by Peruvians. Instead it was surrounded by Marshal Santa Cruz’s troops, and Blanco Encalada was forced to sign the Treaty of Paucarpata (November 17, 1837), which the Chilean government promptly repudiated. j Not located in Briseño.

General Blanco Encalada Repels the Mutineers from Valparaiso 86. [WAR OF THE PERU-BOLIVIAN CONFEDERATION]. Ultimas Noticias. [text begins:] Con fecha 4 del corriente comunica el jeneral don Manuel Blanco—que habiendo tenido noticia de la acaecido en Quillota …. [Santiago de Chile]: Imprenta de la Opinion, dated 5 June 1837. Folio (28 x 18 cm.), unbound. Woodcut ornament below caption title. Small nick at one edge. In very good to fine condition. Broadside. $300.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION. This report of June 4 by General Blanco Encalada states that a column of 400 infantry and 30 cavalrymen had approached Valparaiso. Blanco Encalada took charge of the Valdivia battalion and the local militia and drove the mutineers into retreat. Losses among the mutineers amounted to some 100 men. The soldiers in Quillota had rebelled under the leadership of Colonel José Vidaurre. The mutineers had imprisoned Diego Portales, who was there arranging for an expedition against the Peru-Bolivian Confederation. When word of the defeat at Valparaiso reached the mutineers, they shot Portales. He instantly became a martyr, and public opinion— which had been against the war with the Peru-Bolivian Confederation—abruptly veered in favor of the war. j Briseño III, 421 (no. 2659).
